NO FCRA USE. This private website has no government affiliation. Neither it nor its advertising partners offer a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Its purpose is to organize official criminal-record routes for Franklin County, Florida. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site, independent of every government office. It does not store official criminal files, retrieve records, perform official checks, or file documents.
Its content points to Franklin County Sheriff's records, the Franklin Clerk, Florida Department of Law Enforcement Criminal History Services, and the Florida Sexual Offenders and Predators Search. Some pages also connect to outside search tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
You agree that you will not:
- Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
- Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
- Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from this site
- Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
- Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
- Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information from this site or a linked tool must not be used to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate. Florida law places specific limits on misuse of Florida Sexual Offenders and Predators Search data. Registry information supports lawful safety awareness, not vigilantism or prohibited adverse decisions.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Franklin County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not produce a credit report, background check, or consumer report. Its information and linked tools may not be used to:
- Decide whether to hire or fire someone
- Screen potential renters or housing applicants
- Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
- Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
- Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules
Any legally regulated check must come through the appropriate authorized agency or an FCRA-compliant provider.
5. No Legal Advice
Site content is not legal advice. General Franklin County record information cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, sealing rule, or expungement rule applies to one person. Consult a licensed Florida attorney for advice.
6. No Warranties
All content is supplied "as is," without a guarantee that:
- The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
- The site will stay up and running without interruptions
- Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
- Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate
Charges, dispositions, custody, sealing, and expungement status can change. Gaps or delays are possible, and no site content is an official statement from the Franklin Clerk, Sheriff, FDLE, or another agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links lead to government offices, courts, state systems, legal-aid sources, and outside search services. Those destinations are independent. Their content, privacy practices, prices, uptime, and terms remain their own responsibility.
8. Intellectual Property
Franklin County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. Copying, distribution, modification, or derivative use requires prior written permission.

Government-record access is governed separately by Florida Public Records Law, Chapter 119, and FDLE criminal-history dissemination by Chapter 943. Any dispute tied to site use must be filed in a court located in Florida.
